At 6 a.m., Wang Fan's powerful body clock made him open his eyes on time.

He gently moved his body a bit before slowly sitting up, feeling refreshed beyond words.

Wang Fan had never felt so rested before.

The rain outside continued to fall like the most beautiful white noise, with the drops striking the RV in a regular rhythm, akin to the softest lullaby.

The slightly chilly temperature was the perfect catalyst for sleep.

Now that the heavy rain had stopped and the sun was shining outside, going out for a morning jog or walk would be the ultimate enjoyment.

Seizing the moment, Wang Fan prepared to get up and was about to call Zhuo Qianqian when he suddenly thought, "Oh crap!"

He had prepared well last night, avoiding the allure of wet clothes and disappearing pants, but forgot about the enchanting 'sleeping beauty' scene in the morning!

Her sleeping posture wasn't great; the blanket had slipped off, covering only half of her. Her long, black, glossy hair spread messily over the pillow, silky and smooth.

Her oversized clothes had shifted slightly upwards from all the tossing, revealing a small, fair, and smooth waist. Her tightly closed eyes had long eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings.

Her slightly parted lips and gentle breathing seemed to be telling a tale of a sweet dream.

What a sin!

After all, Wang Fan was a young man full of vigor, and such a sight was really hard to resist.

He fought the impulse to transform into a wolf, turned his head away, quickly covered her with the blanket, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, Zhuo Qianqian woke up, her slightly dazed big eyes opened, and after coming to her senses, she sat up like a joyous lark and greeted Wang Fan: "Good morning, boss!"

Wang Fan responded with a hum: "I plan to wash up and go for a run. Are you going to keep sleeping or join me?"

Zhuo Qianqian's eyes lit up: "Of course I'll join you; the air outside must be exceptionally fresh now!"

They both washed up, dressed, and left the RV.

As expected, the air outside was exceptionally crisp.

After the heavy rain, the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth.

The sunlight penetrated through the clouds, shining upon the ground, and the droplets of water sparkled with bright clarity.

Wang Fan did some warm-up exercises in place, and Zhuo Qianqian followed suit, stretching.

As Wang Fan was doing his warm-ups, he told Zhuo Qianqian: "Next time you wake up, don't sit up abruptly. After lying down all night, more blood tends to accumulate in the lower part of your body due to gravity. Sitting up directly might temporarily reduce blood supply to your brain, causing dizziness. Severe cases might lead to increased heart rate, significantly elevated blood pressure, adding to the heart's burden, and in the worst case, could cause an acute myocardial infarction."

This was an experience Wang Fan had summed up in his first lifetime, and he did not want those around him to repeat the mistake.

Zhuo Qianqian looked surprised: "Is there such a big deal about getting up?"

Wang Fan nodded: "It's not a small matter; it can be life-threatening. Remember it."

Zhuo Qianqian nodded quickly, appreciating his concern.

After finishing their warm-ups, the two of them started jogging into the park.

This place already had a lot of vegetation, with many towering trees everywhere.

From time to time, raindrops would fall from the leaves and grass, landing on the damp ground with a crisp sound.

The slight puddles on the streets reflected colorful hues under the sunlight, like colorful mirrors. Wang Fan spread his arms, feeling the freshness after the rain and the warmth of the sunlight, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

The phrase "blue skies are like a wash" is often used, but Wang Fan felt that unless you've been here and experienced a sunny clearing after rain, you really can't understand what it means.

Unknown birds in the woods also sang happily, as if celebrating this beautiful moment.

At this time, nature seemed to have sprung to life with renewed vigor, and everything appeared particularly bright and charming.

Seeing her boss, slightly ahead of her, with the sunlight casting a serene and charming smile, Zhuo Qianqian inexplicably blushed a little.

The boss seemed to be quite handsome.

Morning exercise was always Wang Fan's routine, so his stamina was always good. He didn't expect Zhuo Qianqian to exercise often too; she kept up for almost an hour without falling behind or complaining of fatigue, making for a perfect workout buddy.

Impressive performance; you're allowed to order breakfast.

Zhuo Qianqian's eyes sparkled instantly; the boss was really the best!

"Boss, I'd like to have jiu pian zi for breakfast. I used to eat it in the mornings at home."

"Jiu pian zi?"

Wang Fan scratched his head, never having heard the name before.

He took out his phone, searched for a recipe, and realized it wasn't difficult.

"Alright, let's have that for breakfast. Change clothes and we'll head to the store to make it."

...

Cheng Feifei and Fu Xiangyun were staff members at Man Ting Park, and they too had agreed to go for a morning jog.

To not run on the morning after the first heavy rain would surely be a waste of such a blessing, right?

"Phew..."

Fu Xiangyun took a deep breath, feeling refreshed all over: "The air after the rain really is the best, while the others are still sleeping in."

Cheng Feifei also prepared to take a deep breath, wanting to feel nature.

"Inhale... cough cough..."

Fu Xiangyun looked at her in puzzlement: "What's going on with you? Did you catch a cold?"

Cheng Feifei finally caught her breath and explained with a smile and a sigh: "No, I was just about to take a deep breath when I suddenly smelled something sour and spicy, and then I got choked up."

Fu Xiangyun sniffed and indeed detected a sour and spicy aroma, along with a faint hint of meat.

When they hadn't noticed it was fine, but once they did, their stomachs started to grumble.

After coughing, Cheng Feifei also found the aroma very alluring, and she proposed: "Want to check it out? I don't think I've ever smelled something like this before."

Fu Xiangyun nodded: "Let's go, let's find out; I find this aroma pleasantly unusual too."

The two followed the scent to find Wang Fan's store.

"'Honor of Kings'?"

Cheng Feifei read the store's name aloud in confusion: "I don't remember there being such a store in the park. Is it newly opened?"

Fu Xiangyun shook her head: "I've never seen it before either. Let's go in and take a look."

Wang Fan was simmering a thick broth, placing 'jiu pian zi' into the pot together with Zhuo Qianqian.

The rich broth, filled with lamb, potatoes, napa cabbage, and more, was bubbling away as it released a mix of rich meaty aroma, sourness, and spiciness. Noticing some people come in, Wang Fan looked up.

"Hello, do you have breakfast available now?"
